As the highest body in the hierarchy of Edda political organization, the Clan Assembly (Nzuko Edda) meets less frequently than the other assemblies and is open to representatives of each of the seventy-two villages in Edda, no matter how small.

Like at the compound and village levels, the Ezeogo does not take decisions arbitrarily and decisions – by consensus – are announced to the town through the Royal Messenger who beat the “Ikpirikpe” (Igba) round the villages . . .

The political, social and religious organizations of the Edda cannot be delineated clearly, and they originate from the compound (Ezi) through the village (Ogo) to the town/village group and clan (Edda) levels.
